Taiwanese investors have shown growing interest in the Japanese stock market, especially as the yen weakens and corporate governance improves. The case of part-time investor reformer21 offers a concrete example: by relying solely on fundamental analysis and long-term holding, he achieved an impressive annual return of 30% without using margin trading. This suggests that even with limited capital, investors can find high-growth opportunities in overseas markets.
Small-cap stocks are often seen as high-risk due to their volatility, but reformer21’s experience shows that with in-depth research into financial reports like the Shikikyouhou, and an understanding of industry trends, investors can uncover undervalued potential. For Taiwanese investors accustomed to tracking indices or popular ETFs, this approach offers a new perspective.
The Japanese market has undergone structural changes in recent years, with improved corporate governance and lower funding costs increasing the appeal of small-cap stocks. However, this type of investment requires strong information-processing skills and patience, which may differ from the short-term trading habits of many Taiwanese investors. reformer21’s strategy demonstrates that long-term value investing can be effective in international markets.
Going forward, investors should continue to monitor Japanese corporate financial reports and industry developments, especially those companies that are overlooked but have strong fundamentals. The Shikikyouhou, a unique Japanese financial tool, is worth studying and applying to enhance understanding and decision-making in the Japanese market.
